P.S: Mitsubishi never sold that distributor in the U.S. on an engine other than the ones sold to Generac. They were sold directly to Generac, so no U.S. distributor would have even had one in their warehouse or be required to support them. If you called a Mitsubishi industrial or automotive distributor, they couldn’t even “see” the part number, because none were ever sold in the U.S. market. Think MB and a part that’s unique to the European market. You have the number and description, but it’s not available through a U.S. dealer because Mercedes won’t sell one to them, it’s not even visible to them in Paragon (the MB parts system.)
Same scenario with this distributor and its service parts. Nothing in the U.S. and no one knows anything about them. Sorry for the wordiness, just wanted to clarify. -D > On Sep 13, 2023, at 6:05 PM, Jim Cathey via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Big Bertha, which if wired in optimally would run everything but the electric > furnace, no muss no fuss, is a thirsty girl.
